I was just thinking we needed a thread of this type, especially with all the new pictures.

This is the best shot of the 'cruiser and me. This was a few years ago during a spring trip to Arizona:

Of course it has gotten more goodies since then:

I think other member rides are ok too.

My daily driver and primary wheeling / camping machine:

Here is a pic of my 80 cruising at the beach.

My 40 is a stepchild too

The only pics I have are from the 1980s ... on actual film not digital

LandCruisers4Life · 01-12-08, 11:56 AM

Yeah I do have photos of me off roading in the 40, but those are on film as well.

Bear80 · 01-16-08, 03:56 PM

Three of us, really?? No one else wants to show some love?

Going to take some new pics soon with new tires, lift and bumper. Just need some help getting this 180lb bumper on

Kelly said she would hold it up there for you, if you put the bolts in quickly.....

It's a pic of when I got it. A few mods have been made since then...

If i can teach my dog how to take pictures id be in it.

LandCruisers4Life · 02-04-08, 12:03 AM

Better upgrade the tires to a higher load rating with that chunk of steel on the rear end !! hehe.. Wow man that is a bumper.

I'll get some more pictures uploaded when I get off the ship. Everyones pictures look awesome.

cool breeze · 02-04-08, 10:54 AM

Hey, you making fun of my skinnies punk?

I dont care for the skinny look all to much and have to wait and see how they're going to perform off road but I can tell you this. Making the switch from OEM michilin's to these, there was not all that much of power loss.

I thought it was going to be some monumental change. Just takes a little longer to get up to speed at partial throttle, gettting on it feels the same. Im going to attribute this to less rotating mass from a smaller tire, but i still get the clearance. Im hoping to try them out this weekend at Clines Ranch if anyone feels like going...im going to make a thread with details when i find them out anyway.

Bear80 · 02-04-08, 04:00 PM

So your wife won't take pictures of you?

cool breeze · 02-04-08, 06:46 PM

She said she already knows what i look like so there is no need for pictures.
